Game of Hunting (Hunting Ground / Lie Chang / 猎场)

I'm here.

Bye.

Hey.

Hello, Chairman Zheng? Where are you?

I'm still in Beijing.

How's the office been?

Things are fine.

Manager Tian brought in a new client.

Their requests are very in line with our database which makes things easier.

Really? What kind of client is it?

It's called Hai Bo Asset Management.

They want three in mid-level management in marketing and three in expansion.

Ma Xiao Hong, the new guy, Pu Jian, and I are all busy.

That means Manager Tian is a great addition.

He's not bad.

When we've been swamped, Hui Cheng Gong has come down to help.

He was helping you.

Chairman Zheng, please don't say that.

I'm reporting these things to you to help lighten the stress.

We've been working around the clock.

Okay.

Don't work yourselves too hard.

We're fine. We have each other here.

You're on your own though.

Be careful.

I know.

Thanks.

Bye.

Mi Na.

I studied performance arts

instead of human resources

but I have practiced observing life around me.

I believe every profession boils down to interaction between people.

That's why EQ is the key to success.

Were my answers satisfactory?

All right, thank you.

Next.

Hello, Sir.

Hello.

I was a bit nervous today. Did you find my answers lacking?

No, I think you performed well.

Really?

I'll get ready to work for you.

This isn't only up to me.

I was just joking. Look at how nervous you are.

Don't take it to heart.

Thank you for your time. Goodbye.

Bye.

Vice Chairman Yuan, is this a good time to talk?

Yes. What is it?

I've split up my approach to Qu Min Jing.

Now I have several bases I need to cover.

I need someone to assist me for the next two weeks.

You can deduct the cost from my pay.

What kind of assistant do you need?

Someone I can consult with and who can help carry out the plan.

To be frank, I need Lin Bai.

I know he isn't busy lately.

Vice Chairman Yuan, are you listening?

I'm listening.

Have you made contact with Qu Min Jing?

Not yet.

I have a plan to make contact.

It needs to implemented as soon as possible, but it's risky.

That's why I need Lin Bai.

I need to speak with Saul first.

I'll wait to hear from you.

The only bad thing about my sister is she's indecisive.

You can take your time talking to her. I won't be staying.

Thank you so much, Tan He.

I'm helping you meet her

but it doesn't mean I support your poaching plan.

My sister hasn't been very satisfied with my brother-in-law for the past few years.

Maybe your recruitment of him will show her Qu can shine.

That's exactly it.

I started to have regrets on my way here. Maybe I shouldn't have come.

First, I don't know you very well.

Second, our family is doing well. I'm not in any hurry to make any changes.

So, how come you didn't turn around?

Perhaps my brother really hyped this up. I wanted to hear it for myself.

It's also possible that deep inside, you yearn for change.

I anticipate much when it comes to my daughter's future.

Can she be happy and healthy?

Will there be clean and fresh air and an excellent golf course?

That's what her uncle said.

It's what I said to him.

Then you are right.

I actually have thought about going to a clean and quiet city.

My daughter and I would live there while her father would work here.

Transportation is convenient now and meeting would be easy.

I'm guessing you've had this though for a long while

but gave up on it after weighing the pros and cons

and it became a fantasy.

Reality poses too many obstacles.

To turn it into a reality would require several conditions.

First, your husband would need a stage that reflects his worth

a worth that is not easily substituted.

The position of deputy district mayor is respectable

but many people could hold that position.

It is not unique enough for him.

On the other hand, there are next to none who are qualified

to be CEO of a large-scale public company.

Your husband is the pillar of this family.

His potential for growth means potential for growth for the family.

Security and happiness are included.

Second, you.

In China, most middle-aged mothers live for their children.

That is how it is in this country. There's no need to be embarrassed.

If your husband can become CEO of Southland Times Innovation

your lifestyle wouldn't be affected even if you don't work.

You could reserve more time and energy for your child.

If you still need to work...

Forgive me for being blunt, but it will merely be a mental need by then.

That would be even better.

There is a university professor position over there willing to take you.

It is a stable and undemanding job.

You could spend time with your child and help your husband translate.

The three of you will assuredly be in better circumstances

compared to the current situation.

This would require much too much work.

I don't understand. Is this worth your while?

If not, why would I be doing this?

We are professionals.

Mrs. Qu, we see the essence of this case

more clearly than you and your husband do.

It is a win for all three parties.

It is 100 times easier said than done.

Even 1,000 times.

That's why we are needed.

Saul has approved you to go.

Zheng Qiu Dong didn't say what the plan is?

He was mysterious. I couldn't have asked.

You know him better than I do. Is he considered the conservative type?

Conservative and risky.

Conservative and risky? What kind of pairing is that? Red and green?

He likes to seek success in danger. I'm interested in his plan.

I'm definitely curious about the mystery. Are you going?

This ball will decide.

There's probably still a 40 percent discounted first-class ticket to Beijing.

Even if I take your suggestions into consideration

my husband would not do so easily.

Have you thought about that?

Of course I have.

I'm thinking...

Don't count on me.

If I try to persuade him, it will produce the opposite effect.

I know. I won't ask you to.

Your husband has been making efforts to advance.

This sort of persistence is a competition.

He wants to use his success in his official career and personal ambition

as proof to you and your father.

That's why having you persuade him will only produce the opposite effect.

Leave your husband to me.

I just want to ask your opinion.

If everything is as I described

would you be willing to move to Shenzhen?

If everything is as you've described...

Forgive me for being frank, Mr. Zheng.

I cannot state my stance at the moment. This is our first meeting, after all.

Of course. This is a major decision.

It concerns your future, and the rest of your life.

You must consider carefully.

However, you don't need to waste any energy on

trivial matters such as housing or relocation.

Take a look at this.

You can choose once you are there.

This is a show of their good faith.

as well as an acknowledgment of Mr. Qu's worth.

There's something you're still not aware of.

It is a major factor.

He is running for district mayor of the Development Zone.

If he wins...

If he loses...

If he loses...

According to what I know

he could be subjected to being frozen out or humiliated by his opponent.

I've heard seniors in the district administration say

he and his opponent have some grudges.

Qu has always had an air of superiority. He has offended many people.

He has an even bigger ego as a scholar holding an official position.

If he is marginalized and given the cold shoulder...

I'm sure he's only thinking about success.

I don't even dare to contemplate.

It's impossible to stop now. We're in a predicament.

What does he think the outcome of the election will be?

He was very optimistic in the beginning, but he's had some apprehension lately.

He pretends to be indifferent.

He's probably afraid of making us worry.

It's time for your daughter to play golf.

I'll give you two a ride. It's on my way.

You're very well-informed about our family.

I must be prepared in order to do a good job.

Please forgive me if I have overstepped any bounds.

Yun Zheng, I'm guessing your mother chose your name for you.

No, my grandpa did.

My grandpa is an author named Tan Fu Sang.

Have you heard of him?

Of course I have.

When I first heard about him, you weren't even born yet.

What's your name?
